Clark Gable

Debonaire and devil-may-care, Clark Gable was the King of Hollywood with a personality to match. With a career spanning several decades, Gable left a mark as the quintessential, classic leading man in films, such as It Happened One Night (1934), Manhattan Melodrama (1934), and Gone With the Wind (1939). After all, who get’s a song written in their honor?
